Modern equipment standards and the vast range of appliances used in the kitchen today can mean that your old wiring system is flagging and under the strain or potentially dangerous.

 

If you're installing a new cooker hob, oven or hood then it's an excellent time to get behind the scenes and check out the old wiring to see if it's rated highly enough for the new appliance.

 

If you are having a new kitchen fitted or extra electrical appliances installed, then always get a trained electrician to do your kitchen wiring and rewiring. If you are adding extra plugs and wiring the kitchen it is important to consider how it will look and also need to consider the positions of the sockets and switches, you should also ensure that plugs aren’t too close to any sinks; or places where a leak could make them dangerous.
